A heavy, marker-like handwritten face with thick strokes, rounded terminals, and noticeably rough, dry-brush edges. Letterforms are built from simple, blunt shapes with uneven curves and corners, producing a lively texture and slight wobble from glyph to glyph. Counters are generally open and uncomplicated, and the overall rhythm is loose rather than mechanically consistent, with some letters taking on slightly different widths and silhouettes in the same line.
Best suited to display use such as posters, bold headlines, album/cover art, packaging, and short punchy quotes where the rough marker texture can be appreciated. It can also work for comic-style captions or casual branding applications that want an intentionally handmade feel.
The tone is informal and expressive, with a scrappy, street-level energy that feels spontaneous and human. Its dark color and ragged outline add a gritty edge, while the simplified forms keep it approachable and a bit cartoonish.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn lettering with a thick marker or brush pen, prioritizing personality and texture over strict regularity. The goal appears to be strong visual impact and a deliberately imperfect, drawn-on look.
The texture remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “inked” look that reads best when allowed to stay bold and slightly imperfect. In longer text, the uneven stroke edges become part of the voice, adding emphasis and character more than refinement.
